Our services

Independent Legal Advice for life's important agreements.

Family law is our flagship. We also review other agreements where you are being asked to sign. ILA is not legally mandatory for every agreement: sometimes a lender or the other party's lawyer requires it, sometimes it is a safeguard. Each matter gets an individual scope assessment before we accept it.

Ontario law, and where you live

seekILA launches with Ontario legal services. If you live elsewhere, the office will tell you at assessment whether it can act, depending on the matter and professional rules. Advice on another province's law needs a lawyer licensed for it.
